Notification sounds not playing on both speakers - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Have you guys noticed that notification sounds are only played on the bottom speaker?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yes, and they are muffled.

Yes same here low volume ,only out of 1 speaker and muffled

That's so disappointing. Hopefully Samsung releases an update fixing this. It's quite annoying.

Yeah, samsung really needs to fix this. The notifications sound is just too small.

Better call quality

Hi guys,
I've been having some issues with audio, people could not hear me. So I stared looking for a solution.
This is what I did:
Phone, menu, call settings, un tick noise reduction, in call-sound EQ set to clear sound.
Let me know if this worked for you guise, definitely worked for me

Since I got my SGS3 everyone I speak to over the phone tell me that the microphone quality is so good that it sounds like I'm right next to them speaking directly into their ear. It sounds the same for me too.

It's not that they can't hear me completely, but sometimes they hear a metallic voice, it happened also when I spoke to my girlfriend i could hear a mettalic voice. Since I changed these settings everything is perfect

S4 main complaint

The only real problem I seem to have is that my s4 has a much dimmer "flashlight" than my nexus did. Does anyone feel this way as well?

It seems that the led is far less bright than even the galaxy s3. If you have torch you can turn on super bright and it's a ton brighter.
its still brighter than my DNA... lol

I don't have an issue with the led flashlight... but my biggest complaint... the speaker isn't as loud as my s3...

Damn S3 must've been pretty loud. My S4 is plenty loud

Get a flashlight. How you expect your phones camera flash to be a functional flashlight is beyond nit picking. Why am I commenting on this? Im drunk. Should have minded my own business. What do I do now? Good luck with your torch sir. This phone sucks without it.

Mine seems very bright...for a cell phone light. My phone could work as a hammering device, but it wasn't really designed to replace a hammer. If you find yourself needing a lot of bright light constantly, you might invest in a real flashlight.
HD Widgets camera light is much brighter than the stock "Assistive Light" widget.
Yup, one of the disappointments coming from galaxy s3 to s4 was the led was weaker. Also notice the audio is lower compared to my s3. Even though on paper s4 was suppose to be louder, I can tell the difference when my phone goes off.
Edit: trying out HD widgets camera was a lot better than the assistant light as mention above me.. Interesting how samsung turn down the output for the assistant light.
Lack of FM RADIO... would be perfect with it!

ugh ew, that assistant light widget is awful. it's huge and is the lowest LED setting. get tiny flashlight. it's bright as hell. i think it's the same brightness as my S3.

The lack of storage space is what bugs me. Once we get Apps to SD working, it wont be so bad. I have a 64GB SD card that has next to nothing on it while my phone is sending me constant low storage messages

I haven't had any issues with space. What could you possibly be filling up on your phone? Applications don't use that much space...
My issue is that the speaker is on the back. Had the same issue with sammy droid charge. Why can't samsung put the speakers on the front or on the bottom end? Doesn't that make more sense? Who would listen to music with their screen facing down?

I have the samsung protective case and I can listen to my speakers with the screen facing up
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, mine is pretty bright. Maybe because my older phone wasn't as bright.
I usually also listen with the screen facing up but isn't the sound better when the screen is facing down because the speakers are facing you?

Bottom Speakers

New to the LG G2 and was just wondering if sound was supposed to come out of both of the bottom slotted holes. I only ask because I only get sound out of the holes to the right of the charge port
same. i've tested it with many uses and beginning to wonder if its just a decoration.
lol.
the right=speaker. left=microphone.

This is a microphone grate if I'm not mistaken. I'm fairly certain only one of them is a speaker. There are threads all over this forum with this being stated.

now, if you had the bastardized verizon version like i do, youd see how this is so. there's only one speaker looking grate on their version.. and its not a grate, it's 3 holes.. then the other side is 1 tiny mic hole. wish ours looked like yours though bc the asymmetric look is awful

Spoke to LG rep. One is microphone one is speaker.

we all make that mistake. i thought it was a speaker aswell but its just a decoration. lg made it so it looked better in design.
Yes this was my first disappointment of the phone as well. I thought it were stereo speakers so the phone will play music with good loudness from the speakers. Then I played music and it came from 1 grill. I googled it and saw it had 1 speaker instead of 2. (Cheaters)

stereo speakers right next to eachother on the same exact side make literally no sense whatsoever. lol it would've been a waste of resources.

Yes that's true but it would improve the loudness of the speakers. I would use them for music outside but now I'm using a Bluetooth speaker.

There pretty loud already but the volume hack makes them super loud

Voice quality

I didn't have any of the problems with call quality that some of you but today I noticed a problem that I am hoping one of you may have a solution to. The call quality that I hear in my ear all of a sudden today became very tinty sounding and a little distorted. However when I listen to the call vis the speaker or a headphone the quality is okay. Is there another speaker that could have gone bad or a setting that would impact this?

Low ringing sound

This......not so good!! Had a few phones with low ringtones, very annoying. Was hoping the Z2 to be on par with the G2 as I found that ringtone volume excellent!

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Apparently call volume is low too...
Everything was looking so promising for the Z2...[emoji22]
Can't be doing with a phone with low ring/notification sound...remember on the Sony Ericsson X1 the amount of calls and SMS I missed due to low (and poor quality sound).

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well it's a complete deal breaker for me. Seriously thinking of cancelling my pre-order
My opinion. Both call and ringer volume are more than sufficient.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.

Again, it's sufficient.
Web tests put the M8 at 85db and the Z2 at 82db.
I don't use my phone to blare music at high volume levels.
